You’ll find daily tweets about upcoming events, and Facebook fans will be sharing their recommendations for the best spot for a burger on the beach or spa treatment. Our blogs keep you in-the-know about area events and YouTube videos provide a video diary of beach life along the Alabama Gulf Coast.
